CORY: "More than just abstaining, the solution has to be for everyone who owns a smartphone to trash it – never looking back. It is fact that “the fourth industrial revolution [“Great Reset”] flows through a mobile”. The smartphone is the conduit">> http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/blog/
"Although the smartphone's the key to unlocking future nightmares, it’s also a double-edged sword. In the same way it serves to uphold the 4th IR... unveiled to the public as the “Great Reset”, without the smartphone, this very foundation would collapse like a house of cards"
"The truth is, if no one purchased smartphones, they would give them away in cereal boxes" http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/blog/

Data Centers: A Hyperscale Tsunami of Renewable Energy Consumption is Underway. In 2017, data superseded oil, becoming the world’s most valuable commodity http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/blog/
“Behind the peaceful image of a white cumulus is a less poetic reality, that of data centres composed of thousands of servers that not only need plenty of energy to run, back up & store your files, but also air conditioning, 24 hours a day.”

At local level, hyperscale data centres embody colossal electricity demand loads, adding pressure to electricity grids which are often already operating under duress...Ireland is forecasting that 30% of their entire national grid will be earmarked for data center power... by 2028
Corporate Damage Control: Hyperscale Greenwash -
“We’ll also need vigorous development and deployment of emerging technologies —such as energy storage, advanced nuclear, and carbon capture and storage — that boost the availability of carbonfree energy around the clock.” - Google
“We’ll also need vigorous development and deployment of emerging technologies —such as energy storage, advanced nuclear, and carbon capture and storage — that boost the availability of carbonfree energy around the clock.” - Google
"By saturating the public relations spin with never-ending references to wind and solar, this greenwash is made palatable to the liberal class...framing these two technologies as “clean”" http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/blog
"The “carbon free” energy sources that do not make the headlines are those most sought by the corporate sector: biomass, nuclear, and capture carbon and storage (CCS)" http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/blog/
"Between March and October, 2020, during the said pandemic, US billionaires saw their “net worth” rise by almost $1 trillion with Bezos on top with a net worth of approx. 200 billion USD" http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/blog/
Here we can infer, that the person whose corporation now leads in mass global land degradation, resource use, energy consumption and subsequent greenhouse gas emissions, is also the wealthiest. All while Amazon continues to exploit its workers" http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/blog/
"All while those in the Global South face literal starvation. This is your new “stakeholder capitalism” as touted by World Economic Forum et al" http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/blog/
"On September 14, 2020, Google released its most asinine statement to date: “As of today, we have eliminated Google’s entire carbon legacy (covering all our operational emissions before we became carbon neutral in 2007) through the purchase of high-quality carbon offsets.. ">>>
<<" This means that Google’s lifetime net carbon footprint is now zero. We’re pleased to be the first major company to get this done, today.” http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/blog
Here we must note that “net zero” has nothing to do with zero emissions, that carbon offsets, an instrument of imperialism and colonialism, do nothing to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/blog
